Smile, Friend

Don't let it go. Don't let yourself be alone
You are not alone, and I don't want you to be alone
You're quiet, waiting, sitting somber in the basement, just waiting for your knight in shining armor
But He's already come, he's come to sweet you off your feet, so don't let that hope go
You are not alone. Open your eyes. You are not alone, and you're not the only one who cries
See, letting go is big, so hold on for just one more day, and then one more day, and then one more day
Sometimes three days is just what it takes to bring hope
But still, if three days isn't enough, don't let go
Sometimes it takes believing in hope to bring hope
And I know where hope comes from
Do you know where hope comes from?

Then just let it go
You've never needed anyone the way you need him now
Gasping... gasping... you choke backwards
And depression's setting in. Now there's nothing you can do
Something grips at you; crooked vultures thrusting hips for you
They want everything you've got, but it's not yours to give
And everything you did was all for something more, something big
So please, please, I'm begging you, don't give them what they want
The same lies coming every day seem ever new
But when your eyes are shut, his eyes are watching over you
And his eyes, those eyes burn deep into your soul until your eyes burn too
My God, my eyes are burning

And it's beautiful, what's happening here; love I've only heard rumors of
He's set passion in me
Visions and hopes for this world are burning into this heart that I'd given up on
But here comes my God whispering. I'm not forgotten
I would've given up long ago. I guess that's just the mystery
And this is the love who rewrites history
One more breath and one more life, but these aren't creations by accident
What we thought was reflex is truly something heaven sent
My life is spent
My knees are bent
You flood the world with innocence, but never again quite like that
This time it's fire. This time it's love. There's only hope left in our fear
So cries those tears. Let oceans flow
Tears of joy and tears of pain and tears of hope, and you're always smiling
Because we know how this fight ends, don't we, friend?

We win
